Talk about a bucket lister!

[HunterMF]

I went out to the promising 1600s farm that I recently got permission on. My first hunt was nothing short of spectacular as I hoped. Come to find out, I am the first person to hunt this property!

The home owner had asked if I could find a couple of arrows that had been lost in her back yard. I found 2/3 and while searching I found this neat silver washed/gilt flat button with shank.


After hunting for a few hours and finding a musket ball, a bunch of modern bullets and some toy cars, I came across a coin that was only hitting 77-78 on my AT Pro (thought it was canslaw) I brought it home and gave it a very light cleaning, and BAM! 1764 could be seen on the coin, and a "M" right after the date! My oldest coin was a 1864 IHP, and now it's a 1764 Reale! Whaaaa!? I have the video of when I pulled it and making a youtube video/channel of my adventures. Here's some pics of everything. Thanks for reading all! Cheers!

Big congrats on the real That has pillars and globes on the obverse, which is my favorite style Spanish Silver and one style I haven't dug yet. Excellent hunt and looking forward to your next post there.

Sweet!

Just a heads up, i wouldnt post any videos showing any of the landmarks on the farm. If its truly been unhunted, you need to keep it to yourself for awhile and enjoy it thoroughly.

I got permission to a 1700s farm last year before the end of the season. I only got 1 chance to hunt it and got a musket ball and ox knob. The owner said im the only one whos asked to detect it since hes owned it. Im not sure how long.

He said theres a big bottle dump in the woods too he said i should check out. He has no interest in it. I cant wait to go back.

Thanks for the heads up! I know the person and they wouldn't let anyone detect the property without me. I don't think that I have any landmarks in the videos to give away the location.
You need to get back to that farm ASAP! Haha Best of luck when you head back there! Cheers!

Nice job with the Spanish. Likely an 1800's drop judging from the wear.

Congrats on a great piece of silver.

Thanks Scrappy! I was figuring that it was a later drop, but I know there's much more out there!

Awesome spot you've found HMF, I'm so happy for you! Hopefully there is alot more left to be found. I'm really curious about the relic that is in your hand, have you identified it yet? It almost looks like a bayonet.

Congrats on your oldest coin to date

Thanks Terpfan! I was able to identify it. Sorry if I left that out, I wrote this right after I found out about the Reale. Haha The object in my hand is a lightning rod that went to a weathervane. I initially thought it was some type of bayonet but luke_00 helped with the identity in "What is it" subforum.
